Southend Vulcan

[Dop]

Dropped in to Southend today, doing a practice land away (doing it solo next time), and while I had a cuppa I could see they were towing the Vulcan out of its parking spot.

When I taxied past it (about ten to two) it looked like they were fuelling it.

Anyone know if they were doing any taxi runs? I would have loved to have seen (and heard) that!

I don't know any details of this occasion, but in '98 doing my QXC from Stapleford-Lydd-Southend, I was taxiing for departure with the Vulcan thundering down the runway.

The only thing missing was the radio call "after the Vulcan, line up runway 24"

The Vulc did two fast taxis on the last Bank Holiday weekend which was the Southend Air Show. I believe it will do two fast taxis either next Sunday or the week after. It is a regular sight being towed out for engine runs and the a/c is a credit to the team.
